WARNING - LIMITATIONS ON MATERIALS.
To properly control the speed of material entering the shredder chamber, the machine relies on the large feed
roller to grip the material. The feed roller can grip material down to 15mm in diameter. The machine will not
tolerate or process items such as tyres, mattresses, heavy duty plastic containers (used for oils, chemicals,
etc.), carpets, reinforced concrete, metallic items exceeding lightweight domestic door furniture, commercial
plastic gas pipe, alkathene water pipe, metal reinforced drainage/irrigation pipe, baler twine, rope, metal
banding, computer hard drives (which contain magnets) and any similar objects to the above.
NOTE: When materials are corrosive they may attack and degrade the individual components. It is essential that the
unit be thoroughly cleaned down after shredding anything that may contain materials of an aggressive nature.
Ejection of material – Warning! The S426TDHB shredder ejects material at high speed. Ensure there is an
adequate safety zone and that ejected material is aimed away from operators into a safe area, i.e. an
enclosure or container with a back stop (i.e. wall) behind it to prevent ejected material from leaving the work
area and causing injury and damage. If loading into a truck or trailer, ensure the structure is strong enough to
cope with the impact from ejected material.

SAFE WORKING 5
BASIC SHREDDING SAFETY
The operator should be aware of the following points:
MAINTAIN A SAFETY EXCLUSION ZONE around the shredder of at least 10 metres for the
general public or employees without adequate protection. Due to the nature of material being
shredded and the distance/velocity of discharge, the exclusion zone must be extended to 20
metres in front of the discharge tube exit. Use hazard tape to identify this working area and
keep it clear from debris build up. Shredded material should be ejected away from any area the
general public have access to.
HAZARDOUS MATERIAL - Some species of trees and bushes are poisonous. The shredding
action can produce vapour, spray and dust that can irritate the skin. This may lead to
respiratory problems or even cause serious poisoning. Check the material to be shredded
before you start. Avoid confined spaces and use a facemask if necessary.
BE AWARE when the shredder is processing material that is an awkward shape. The material
can move from side to side in the funnel with great force. If the material extends beyond the
funnel, the brash may push you to one side causing danger.
BE AWARE that the shredder can eject material out of the feed funnel with considerable force.
Always wear full head and face protection.
ALWAYS work on the side of the machine furthest from any local danger, e.g. not road side.
WARNING
The shredder will feed material through on its own. To do this, it relies on
the hammers to be free to swing. DO NOT put bricks, large stones, string,
carpet, tyres or metal into the shredder. !
!
OPERATOR'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT REQUIRED
Chainsaw safety helmet
fitted with mesh visor and
recommended ear defenders

GENERAL SAFETY MATTERS
DO NOT use shredder unless available light is
sufficient to see clearly.
DO NOT use or attempt to start the shredder
without the feed funnel, belt guard, guards and
discharge unit securely in place.
DO NOT start the shredder running unless
properly guarded.
DO NOT stand directly in front of the feed funnel
when using the shredder. Stand to one side.
DO NOT allow -
DO NOT smoke when
refuelling. Petrol/diesel fuel is
explosive!
DO NOT let anyone who has not received
instruction operate the machine.
DO NOT allow anyone apart from the operator to
ride on the machine at any time.
DO NOT handle material that is partially engaged
in the machine.
DO NOT touch any exposed wiring while
machine is running.
DO NOT use the shredder inside buildings.
- to enter the machine, as damage is likely.
ALWAYS stop the shredder engine before
making any adjustments, refuelling or cleaning.
ALWAYS check machine has stopped rotating
and remove shredder ignition key before
maintenance of any kind, or whenever the
machine is to be left unattended.
ALWAYS check machine is well supported and
cannot move.
ALWAYS run with the engine set to maximum
speed.
ALWAYS check (visually) for fluid leaks.
ALWAYS take regular breaks. Wearing personal
protective equipment for long periods can be
tiring and hot.
ALWAYS keep hands, feet and clothing out of
feed opening, discharge and moving parts.
ALWAYS use the next piece of material or a push
stick to push in short pieces. Under no
circumstances should you reach into the funnel.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear of people,
animals and children.
ALWAYS keep the operating area clear from
debris build up.
ALWAYS keep clear of the chip discharge tube.
Foreign objects may be ejected with great force.
ALWAYS ensure protective guarding is in place
before commencing work. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury or loss of life.
ALWAYS use shredder in a well ventilated area -
exhaust fumes are dangerous.

RED SAFETY BAR
Control Box Diagram
Roller control boxes- two control boxes are located on either side of the feed tray. Their function is
to control the feed roller that draw material into the machine. They do not control the main rotor.
RED SAFETY BAR = This is the large red bar that surrounds the feed tray and side of the feed funnel.
The bar is spring loaded and connected to a switch that will interrupt the power to the roller. The
switch is designed so that it only activates if the bar is pushed to the limit of its travel. The roller will
stop instantly, but can be made to turn again by pressing either the GREEN FEED or BLUE
REVERSE control buttons.
GREEN BUTTON = Forward feed - Push the button once - this activates the roller and will allow you
to start shredding (if the rotor speed is high enough).
BLUE BUTTON = Reverse feed - allows you to back material out of the roller. The roller will only turn
in reverse as long as you keep pressing the button.
Do not rely on the red bar to keep the roller
stationary if it is necessary to clear or touch the
roller. Always switch off the machine and remove
ignition key before approaching the roller.
There are two control boxes, located on
either side of the feed tray.
WARNING
DO NOT remove, jam, disable, bypass, override or otherwise
impede the effectiveness of the red safety bar.
!!
RED SAFETY BAR TEST
To ensure the safety bar is always operational it must be activated once before each work session.
The rollers will not function until the bar is activated. This procedure must be repeated each time the
ignition is switched off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 9
CRAWLER TRACK CONTROLS
The shredder is designed to operate in either shredding or tracking mode, but not both at the same time.
To switch between modes, the push/pull is operated, this is located on the driving control panel (see parts
located on page 3 - it is clearly marked. Avoid repeatedly switching between shred and track mode. Allow
20 seconds between each mode selection.
SHREDDING MODE
Power is supplied for the shredding function. The main feed roller can be operated as detailed on
page 8. The machine cannot be tracked in this mode.
TRACKING MODE
Power is supplied for the track function. The machine can be tracked in this mode, the shredding drum
and hammers will remain spinning. The roller controls are now inoperable.
When Track mode is selected the two track control valves may be operated. These have direct control
over the track relevant to the each side of the machine. They are proportional valves so increased
movement will result in increased track speed.
Tracking may be done at any engine speed. Manoeuvring the machine in tight spaces and while
loading and unloading should be done with the engine on low speed.
AUTO CONTROLS
The engine management unit controls the feed rate of the material going into the shredding chamber.
If the engine speed is below the predetermined level, the engine management unit will not allow the
feed rollers to work in the forward “infeed” direction, until the rotor speed rises above the
predetermined level. At this point the feed rollers will start turning without warning. The reverse
function will operate at any engine speed.
There are two ways of stopping the S426TFTR chipper in the event of an emergency.
STOPPING THE ROLLERS
Activating the red safety bar will stop the rollers immediately. To restart the rollers, just push the green
forward button or blue reverse button.
STOPPING THE ENGINE
Should the entire machine need to be stopped in an emergency the red button on top of the engine
guard should be pushed. This will shut down the engine in the shortest possible time. The engine
cannot be restarted until the button is pulled out again to reset it.
EMERGENCY STOPPING
WARNING
ALWAYS WEAR FULL PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN
DRIVING SHREDDER (SEE PAGE 5) AND ENSURE BUCKET IS CLOSED
WITH DISCHARGE POINTING AWAY FROM DRIVING POSITION.
